What would you say it is?
I grew up listening to musicals... it's an acquired taste perhaps. But for those who have the taste, what's your fav? |

Juliet, it looks like there are few musical buffs here for you, and I only spoke in jest, sorry. But you could educate us as to what are good musicals, not just well known ones. Does Madam Butterfly count, I think it is opera, I'm no sophisto. Generally as soon as a heap of people start singing about what they are doing, I turn off and change the channel. Even Simpsons musicals turn me off.
Maybe it is because I was hammered with Mary Poppins and Chitty bang bang and similar stuff when I was a kid. |

notbeold: Generally as soon as a heap of people start singing about what they are doing, I turn off and change the channel. I can relate I don't really watch many of them - full. I just pick select scenes to watch; except Sound of Music, ofcourse. But oopsies, I'm lazy to google. Don't know really the difference between musicals, opera, broadway But I appreciate them all. For those who like musicals (and I hope these ones really are musicals?) you might enjoy or have already enjoyed these: * Fiddler on the Roof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBHZFYpQ6nc * Master of the House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTZYSzxZcvA These men... really very good and HIGHLY entertaining! I've listened and watched countless of times esp. Fiddler's. |

Well with all art I think what makes the difference between 'good' and 'bad' is that what makes you feel something. So, if a musical makes you feel something it's good! (for real) If it doesn't, it's fallen short. |

The very first two my Aunt took me to will always be my favorite...
"Sound of Music" and "Fiddler on the Roof"... it was a double feature movie event. I like a lot of the classic ones. |

I liked "Oklahoma". I grew up watching that on tv every year.

Juliet, you never said if you have a favorite musical.

The Nut Cracker.
The ballet presentation was so beautiful and made me dream away. It was directed by Mikhael Venshikov. The ballet of Sint-Petersburg was astonishingly skilled. |
